Torrens, West May
Win Close Games
fHE four eeml-floaJlsts, West. Sturt, North.
A and Torrens. who have survived the minor
round, wfll meet tomorrow to decide the con
testants of the preliminary final. West (first)
will meet Sturt (second) at Thebarton Oval
BJJd North - third i and Torrens -Iourlh- will
Dlar at Dnley Oval.
Both these matches snouM be «--*]! con
tested, and as a high standard of lootball is
expected, the games should be well wurlb see
!ne. The knockout game between North and
Torrens is expected to prove the more ex
citing. As the lo^-r will be eliminated from
the major round, both trams will be ail out
North and Torrens met on three occasions dur
ing the minor round and the resu'.ts show
that there is little between these sides as re-i
eards strength. In their first encounter!
North won. by eight points. Torrens rauslised '?
by sinning the second game by 33 points, while .
In their third match a great game resulted In a I
tie. The game tomorrow is certain to attract
a large crowd as botb teams play rugged and
vigorous football. The recent form of North
and Torrras has been one ol brilliance. »nO!
whoever the ultimate winner may be the dlf- j
not be great. |
The other game uetween West and Sturt
Should also be Interesting. They have met;
mice previously. West Adelaide being sne
cessful on each occasion. Slurt unfortu
nately has been handicapped by !n]urt--s. and
that It has not been able to reproduce ;he flue
form It displayed aildnay thruiisb the 5-ar. i
West, on tbe other band, has b-*-n a mode: ot
consistency Tills Is borne out by the fact
that It has been beaten only three times West
no doubt will be most favored to win. but
the strength oS Sturt must not be underrated.
Should it »-e at full strength i: can be safely
predicted that West will not have matters ni: -
its own way. The loser will have a further
opportunity to win their way to premiership
honors next week, when it will play the win
ners of the Nortb-Torrens game, at Norwood
